Review from Gail F (Wife of Resident) published on 2 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband has been cared for at Waltham House since December 2025. The experience has been nothing but kind, caring, professional and a huge relief to me. He is in the later stages of dementia and is now very poorly but all the staff are very caring and professional while being in good spirits all the time which can't be easy. I would recommend Waltham House to anyone who wants their loved ones well cared for.

My mum has been a resident at Waltham House for two and a half years. She has dementia and poor mobility. Mum's behaviour can be challenging, but she is looked after by kind and patient carers, and I know she is safe.

It was a difficult decision to place mum in full time care, but I'm glad I chose Waltham House.

My mother has been a resident for over eight years (now) and she's very well looked after in all her needs. Management and all staff are polite and caring and very efficient.

My father-in-law sadly died recently after 3 years at Waltham House. His care was excellent and communication with us was the same. Staff are always on hand and nothing is too much trouble. And the management are always looking to improve what is already an excellent service. We knew that my father-in-law was always comfortable and safe, and that was a huge help to us.

Thank you so much for caring for my mother-in-law in the last seven months of her life. She couldn't have received more sensitive care had she passed away in a hospice.

I noticed my mum wasn't eating her food I asked her the reason why, and mum said it was the spice and herbs that were cooked with the food that upsets her stomach. I have spoken to the staff they do their very best and offer her other options of meals which I was very pleased to know and stopped me worrying about her.
